s.out oftbe Depths

"Out of the depths there comes a voice OF
weeping.
All me. l hear it borne on wintry air,
Poor aching hearts, their mournfui vigils
keeping,
Cry out for succor. in their wild despair.
4out Of the depths oh, raise rs. or We per
fish,
save the poor victims Insddening drink has
made;
our hopes are dead, how can We love aud
cherish
when love has been 50 cruelty betrayed
see that man reeiing TO his wretched dwelling
His little children shrinking at the sight.
Hear the Torn mother To her darlings telling
cod pity Us. 1 see no ray OF light"
cont OF the depths" we bring that weeping
mother
Back to her check the warm blood flows
again;
Kind hands have raised tho erring, fallen
brother
And given him welcome rnong ranks OF
men.
@out of the depths Christians. to yon they're
calling;-
Victims to sin and sorrow griefand shame,
To-day, this moment there are legions falling
If we stand idle, onrs will be the blame,
They who win souls 'iike stars shall shine
forever"
our work is ready, let US not delay,
And He whose word cndoweth now, and ever
shall guide ~ safely in the better way.

Ar employer in a Rhode Islanl IA

This is a temperance sermon based upon
a sound prohibition text. ~SiXty-oight per
cent. of the hard earned toll money swal-
lowed up by the ravenous horde who do
business under the sanction of public opin-
ion. Is there not something loose in the
community will daily tolerate this sys-
tematic course of robbery. Need we ask
who are the sufferers? Are the wives and
children of these men entitled to the same
protection as We afford to any other class
of citizens ? No, they cannot obtain any
redress, and unless the husband and father
has manhood enough to say, 'let the rum
sellers family starge-mine live" This
state of affairs will continue on. OnIg
think, GS per cent. for the rum seller, and
32 per cent. for wife, children and land

The London Medical Record says that
there are more deaths from ~apoplexy in
Bordeaux than in any other city in the
world, and it attributes that fact to the
bibulous habits of the Bordelais. 1t seems
that Bordeaux is given to wine bibbing to
an extent which produces an abnormal
amount of disease of various kinds. 1t
might have been supposed that Bordcaux
drank pure wine, but such is not the fact.
There is quite as much adulteration Of
wines intended for home consumption rs
of those sent abroad.-M Y. 1riJune.

Moral SuasIOn.

Said the noble Governor Button, of Con
necticut, in 1854:
choral suasion is useless except with
moral men. When We are governed merely
by appetite or love of gain, moral suasion
has no effect. Legal suasion saves breath
and labor, ard accomplishcs the object in
the simplest possible manner.
What methods will carry temperance re-
formations TO full and abiding success?
Both methods; moral suasion and legal
prohibition. | recently summarized the
answer to this question in these words:
They cooperate and complement each
other. Moral suasion deals chiefly with
the drinker; prohibition with the drink
supplier. Moral suasion is chiefly con-
cerncd with the welfare of the individual
prohibition with the welfare Of society.
Moral suasion says to the individual,
'Do right for rights sake prohibition
says to society, You shall not have the
means of destroying the individual Moral
suasion is useless except with moral people.
Prohibition provides moral safety for those
whom moral suasion cannot reach.

A great deal has been said of late about
changing the name of the Prohibition
party to 'Home Protection Party" and
the proposition seems to meet with favor
in high quarters. Nevertheless don't do
%it-whoeyer has the doing of it. "Prohi-
bition" is a good enough name yet. 1t is
the name by which the party has doubled
its growth year after year-the name I'M
der which it has had its hard battles and
been abused, reyiled and spit upon. Let
it be the name under which it shall march
TO victory. It has a good sound-a sturdy
ring-short, pungent, self-asserting, the
old name Prohibition, and we are not
ashamed to march under it, and fight I'M
der it, and we hope to win under it the vic
tory that shall afford protection to the
